MTSIM Haptics

Currently we have two apps for our haptic systems.
One is made to work with games that support audio input and one that works with direct telemetry data.

Both apps can be installed on your system at the same time.

FAQ / General info

General

After attaching the MTSIM Haptics board, Windows will recognise the board as a new audio device.
You can switch away from it to your standard audio device.


MTSIM Cockpit App

Sound based shaker control

Sound-based haptics are, as the designation implies, purely based on sound input.
This includes game audio, movies, music, as well as voice.

Beyond the example(s) listed below, we recommend for users to experiment.
This is especially applicable if something feels unpleasantly weird.
What can be nice for one person, can make another uncomfortable, or even ill, over time.

Setup example for Sound - lower ranges/bass boost

Cuts out most of the higher frequencies, focusing instead on the bone-shaking events like an F-16 taking off next to you.
As a side-effect, this approach can quiet the chair down a fair bit, making it less obtrusive during nightly gaming sessions.

Do experiment with the exact filter ranges per zone.
Preferably with a range of songs/games/movie clips as test subjects.


Third Party Software Support

SensitHaptic Cockpit App + SimHub

Telemetry-based shaker control

Various racing games have direct telemetry support.
Additional game support can be realised in combination with SimHub.
A full list of supported games can also be found on their website.

Unlimited duration trial with limited function, paid licence for full version.

SimHaptic

Telemetry-based shaker control

Stand-alone alternative to SensitHaptic+Simhub, focused on a select range of Flight Sims.
Thanks to that, it has a wider range of haptic feedback control in said games.
Supports MSFS (20/24), X-plane, DCS, BMS, IL-2.

7d unlimited function trial, paid licence is required after that.

SimHaptic setup:
In the SimHaptic settings, set Output device to ‘Speakers (#- Sensit! Haptic Core)’.
You should feel the haptics respond when pressing [Test].
Further settings can be tweaked per aircraft, after slotting in/starting a flight.


Improvement Roadmap

Audio Cockpit:

  • Black/Whitelist audio input sources for Audio Cockpit (i.e. voice-chat, music, etc.).
    Advanced 3rd party audio controls may also be able to isolate and direct, though we haven't specifically tested this.
    In the meantime, you can use [ctrl+shift+p] to pause and resume the haptics.


Know Issues

Audio Cockpit:

  • For a limited time after installation, or until PC restart, [ctrl+shift+p] might not be seen by the MTSIM Cockpit app.

  • After disconnecting and reconnecting the board, Windows may create a new audio device entry.

  • Profile switching in the MTSIM Cockpit app doesn’t always apply the correct boost/zone/filter settings. Moving the sliders back and forth a bit, or reselecting the profile, can resolve this.
    (Going between the Sensit and MTSIM app can also require profile switching to reapply the frequency filters.)

  • Non-headset sound systems might not be properly seen by the MTSIM Cockpit app.
    If this is happening with your setup, please forward us the related details (setup type, how it is listed in the audio settings, etc).
